Over by Riverfront Park, in the Central Platte Valley, AMLI Riverfont Green is starting to show its true colors. A good portion of Riverfront Green’s facade is made up of glazed bricks adding a splash of color to all corners of the building.
The glazed brick comes in many different colors, with the most notable being yellow and green. The brick looks pretty sharp and isn’t as vibrant as the EFIS facades we have seen on multiple projects. Here are two photos of the building from 18th Street.
Heading over to the south side of the project, you will notice that the project doesn’t come up all the way to the street. A small piece of land will be left over, hence why there is a blank wall. Future development for the small parcel is still unknown.
Last but not least, here is one more view from Riverfront Park.
With AMLI Riverfront Green starting to enter its final stages of construction, we will be back to visit it once its complete.
These colors are going to look so dated in 15 years. Harvest gold, avocado green, and burnt orange. Hello 1970s!
Yeah but what is old, is new again. In 30 years, they’ll be en vogue once more!
Honestly, they look dated already – why developers keep using that odd green color (and also the yellow or gold color, for that matter) is beyond me; this development would look far better by simply keeping everything a natural “brick” color.
I agree, my thoughts would have been
Lapis Blue that would tie in withe Glass House,Black tile and Grey and white around the balonies
FYI, it is known that the empty lot next to the development will be a single family home by one of the developers who has done a lot in that neighborhood already. Construction is suppose to start in the fall.
My least favorite development in Denver (colors and overall finish given this location). The only positive is bringing more residents to this area in hopes that it can help the Riverfront retailers that struggle mightily.
As a neighbor of this building, I have watched it go up since the beginning and was excited to see the finished product. That is, until I saw the ridiculous brick colors. My wife and I think it looks like a children’s museum. What’s wrong with the classy and timeless traditional brick look??
Actually I like the colored brick. Brown brick is so unimaginative and boring!
I agree with Greg. There are so many brown brick buildings going up, you have to wonder “Why all the cookie-cutters?” I like the look of these apartments …
You have great taste Sue …
